Posted 15 Aug 2013 "He isn't trying to become immortal himself. Besides, we know it's possible. I'm living proof of that. All we have to do is discover what exactly causes the immortality, and if and how it can be replicated and transferred to someone else. With proper testing beforehand the risk can be minimised. The real difficulty is keeping it under wraps. I don't want people begging left right and centre for my immortality." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 15 Aug 2013 "It also makes you reliant on them. A good ol EMP will quickly remove that false immortality. Plus there's the fact that if you're powered by machines, you're a cyborg, you aren't really living, you're on life support, and your appearence would reflect that. It's not the same as being biologically immortal." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 15 Aug 2013 Skye had remained quiet during the exchange between Shadow and Locke about the losses they would feel when people around them died. "And this is why I'm doing it," he whispered to himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Aug 2013 "A world without natural death can lead to far worse situations than a world with it. I'd rather not continue this discussion here.

Posted 15 Aug 2013 Skye continued to mutter for a bit. "Anyway I don't think I;d managed immortally. Extended life yes, but... What was that? Oh, yes, beach! Hold on one second!" Skye rushed off to buy a bucket and spade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 15 Aug 2013 "But, heh heh, then how do you get you're ball," Skye started to giggle, "back? It's no fun if you just," Skye's giggles became more intense and he struggled to keep talking, "teleport to where the ball landed." Skye gave up talking and broke down in a laughing fit with the image of Shadow wearing an infaltible ring. In Skye's mind, it had a smiling duck head. Melody walked over, shaking her head at her brother. "Yeah, we're read to go Dylan. Like the new look!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
